Title: Wii Production Video + Zelda Disc
Post by: Blackplague on November 09, 2006, 02:49:07 AM: Take some time to watch this 3 min video. It goes through a little of the production and shows the official boxing, disc of zelda, and a mini interview with Perrin.

Wii Porn

EDIT: Found a better close up on kotaku.com

*DAAAH DAAH DAH DAH DA-DA DADADA! DADA DADA DADA DADA DUH DUH DUUH DUUH!*

The Zelda disc looks cool. I think black would be better than white, but it's still awesome.

Post by: MaryJane on November 09, 2006, 06:10:36 AM: lame video, but interesting, it was too boring. they should have used like action cutshots instead of dwelling on the employees for so long, it was depressing to see them packaging up what could be the greatest thing since sliced bread and have that same dead (produced from working 8 hours a day 5 days a week) look on their faces that I have at my job. especially the dude who's job it is to put the boxes next to each other, can you imagine that lunch time conversation?

"So one of the boxes didn't have a green tag today", "Oh really?", "No, he's telling the truth I saw that one too", "Yeah I thought Miyamoto would like fly down and kill someone!"

"lol", "lol" , "lol", "lol"

But seriously, I agree with Rhoq; the Zelda disc is much classier looking than the Monkey Ball disc. But then again, monkey+classy? Hmm... instead of blue perhaps they should have gone with poo-brown.
Yes! More ACTION! Like, they should have had a video with a Wii box attempting to escape, holding an employee hostage and making a break for his car, only to get taken out by SWAT team's sniper. Then they could have played Taps with a sign "Sorry little Johnny Walker from Taylor Texas. Looks like your Wii wont be making it in time for Christmas."

I just meant like show what they showed, but show it quicker, 2 seconds of boxes, 2 seconds of remote packaging, so on and so on.

Post by: wandering on November 09, 2006, 09:29:11 AM: Wow. That disc looks so good I almost don't care about Wii discs being monochrome anymore.

edit: aaah, they went with the two tone boxart instead of the solid gold.

Post by: The Traveller on November 09, 2006, 11:32:56 AM: Its a shame Nintendo hasnt done anything special for TP's release... Also wheres the mainstream hype for Zelda..even WW had a cinema ad.

Post by: wandering on November 09, 2006, 11:43:43 AM: Oh, it'll sell, don't worry. I already know of several hot cake vendors that have closed up shop because they knew they couldn't compete with Zelda.
Title: RE: Wii Production Video + Zelda Disc
Post by: Ceric on November 09, 2006, 11:49:50 AM: Hot Cake Vendors?

Anyways. I TP trailer before a movie would be awesome.

This is the kind of video they send out to the press and studios and stuff, in order to use the footage as stock to get a visual reference on a (potential) Wii story. I've worked with a couple of them from GM, and they're always pretty straightforward, infomercial type material. I mean boring

Post by: Bloodworth on November 09, 2006, 07:50:08 PM: Yeah it's just B-roll. They leave the production up to the real press and the blogs just spew out the raw footage.
